New jobs website puts local first for recruiters and jobseekers

localjobsearch.co.uk has launched with the aim of providing UK jobseekers with quick and easy access to around 13,000 local jobs in their area.

There is a growing trend amongst people to choose life over work, and this means that there is a need for jobs throughout all areas of the UK, not just the major cities.

The homepage features a very simple search facility, where users search for a job by location or keyword. By leaving these blank the results default to show all jobs available.

The site has also been designed with recruiters in mind, offering them a choice of ëquick job postingí, perfect for smaller businesses and ëmulti job postingí, which is suitable for national companies or businesses with a larger recruiting need.

Other benefits for recruiters include Featured job listings, Premium job listings, activity reporting and registering of company profiles.

Abi Mellor, Channel Manager for localjobsearch.co.uk says: ìMore and more people are refocusing their life priorities, in order to spend extra time with their families or indulge in leisure activities. As a result they are looking for jobs that are closer to home.

ìMany of the current jobs websites are very busy so we felt we should offer one that is completely stripped down.

ìWe expect localjobsearch.co.uk to quickly become the leading jobsite for local jobs in the UKî.

Other useful features for job hunters include email alerts, candidate profile posting, company profiles and useful web links.
